NEWSPAPER SUMMARY - Saturday 31st March 2007
Comments

1971 was a super year then - creme eggs appeared in the shops and in the summer of that year Mum and dad had a surprise when their 2nd daughter arrived (me!)
I remember pacer mints and that space dust that popped in the mouth. I just managed to have a lovely read of the papers (with 4 kids that is an achievement) I took them to the local play centre and as they exhausted themselves I read my papers. I was interested in the Mirror seeds offer.
In Focus they are selling 6 pots of daffs mixed varieties for 99p - not at their best now but will be super next year.

PS ... By the way I bought Mars Bars for 2 'New' p in 1971 ... and they were the size of a loaf of bread as I recall! ....
PPS ... Does anybody remember Mink Cracknels and getting minty splinters in your tongue!
Lol, at the Mars bars!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
And "mink" cracknels... sounds a bit barbaric, were they made from real mink?? :eek:

Sorry can't be more helpful but still got a headache from the free cider from the Sun yesterday.
This is for a can of the new budweiser. 1 coupon per transaction, think the expiry was 8/4/07 but not certain.
I didn't buy the paper as I had some of this beer last week & it's so week, so no more details.
I'll stick to Kronenburg.0 -
Hello again I am very sorry I got the creme egg date wrong!
I didnt mean to start a new "chat room" BUT it has been fun reading what has been written since my post.
I dont think I am the oldest poster, because somebody said they got married in 1971. I married in 1972 at 19 so there's a hint of my age.
Ps still married 35 years!!:j0 -

No animals were killed or covered in chocolate during the making of this post ... :rotfl:LittleBill ... "The riches of a man can be measured by what he can do without"0 -
The Powerade coupon from the Scottish Sun scans without buying the stuff. It's worth 99p.
(Made a great profit on the Sun, as it's 55p, minus 10p voucher off the Sun, minus the 99p Powerade voucher that I ripped out before paying for the paper, plus used a 50 point Telegraph voucher.
) 0 -
